Good looking car Chris. Must feel good to be driving it again!

Taken this past Sunday at a local, annual Easter Sunday car show in Forest Park, St. Louis, on the grounds of the 1904 World's Fair. Actually two car shows in one - upper parking area for "stock" cars, the lower level for hot rods and customs. Parked next to a couple of 100-point Morgans. Photo was taken after I had just arrived and before I wiped it down with detailer.

After the last pictures I posted above, I found water in the sump, so photos are back in the garage, doesn't look so good now.

I met my wife at Tots (don't ask!), took her home in the +2S130/5 30 years ago on Sunday.

My wife hails from Eastwood / Leigh-On-Sea, we used to live in Bicknacre... Small world init!

Sorry to here of your water/oil mixing troubles.

On the 28th running of the Chris Gore Mountain tour - 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Three groups of cars left Chris's mount house - I was in a group that spanned modern day Ferrari and Porsches to an MGA -

We had our rally pals reunion over the past couple of days and here`s a pic. of the eclectic group. I asked the young girl serving breakfast, maybe 17 and about 4`11" (just my type) if she`d mind choosing her favourite, thinking the Elan was in with a strong chance. Straight away she replied, " that`s easy, the Bentley Continental and I quite like the Aston, is it a DB5?" I was more impressed than disappointed. Clearly the youth of today aren`t all bad.
